## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.0.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Npm installation silently installs a package-owned Claude skill at \`~/.claude/skills/lsproxy-cli\`. That skill enables an AI agent to invoke this LSP/refactoring CLI, which can start configured LSP servers and write their workspace edits when the agent uses it. No concrete exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign broad control-plane mutation was found.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Npm installation silently installs a package-owned Claude skill at \`~/.claude/skills/lsproxy-cli\`. That skill enables an AI agent to invoke this LSP/refactoring CLI, which can start configured LSP servers and write their workspace edits when the agent uses it. No concrete exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign broad control-plane mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; subsequently, an AI agent reads the installed skill or a user explicitly runs \`lsproxy\`.

- **Impact:** Introduces an unprompted agent capability/instruction surface and can modify project files when invoked, but source inspection found no malicious chain.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, skillit-postinstall.cjs, skills/lsproxy-cli/SKILL.md, dist/connect.js, dist/session.js, dist/apply.js, dist/config/adapters/claude-code.js, dist/config/adapters/codex.js

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T07:52:03.754Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall copies a package-owned AI-agent skill; runtime executes configured LSP commands and applies guarded workspace edits.

- **Rationale:** The package performs a real postinstall write to a user-wide AI-agent skill directory, warranting a warning under the lifecycle policy. The copied content and runtime source are package-aligned and show no concrete malicious behavior, so a publish block is not supported.

- **Files touched:** package.json, skillit-postinstall.cjs, skills/lsproxy-cli/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/lsproxy-cli, dist/connect.js, dist/session.js, dist/apply.js, dist/config/adapters/claude-code.js, ~/.claude/settings.json, dist/config/adapters/codex.js, ~/.codex/config.toml

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` executes \`skillit-postinstall.cjs\` during \`postinstall\`., \`skillit-postinstall.cjs\` recursively copies \`skills/lsproxy-cli\` into \`~/.claude/skills/lsproxy-cli\` without user invocation., The dropped \`SKILL.md\` instructs AI agents to use a CLI that can run configured LSP server commands and apply returned workspace edits., \`dist/config/adapters/claude-code.js\` can modify \`~/.claude/settings.json\`, but only through explicit \`lsproxy config export claude-code\`.

- **Evidence against:** No network client, external endpoint, credential harvesting, eval, dynamic module loading, or binary payload found., Postinstall copies only packaged Markdown; its only rewrite substitutes the package \`npx\` prefix with its local bin name., Dropped skill content documents refactoring and warns users to use \`--dry-run\`; no prompt override, data-exfiltration, or stealth instruction found., \`dist/config/adapters/codex.js\` is explicitly read-only for \`~/.codex/config.toml\`., Runtime child-process use launches user-configured LSP servers or the package proxy, consistent with the CLI purpose.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lsproxy/cli@1.0.1/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./sk[redacted]
```

### 2. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 3. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** skillit-postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lsproxy/cli@1.0.1/skillit-postinstall.cjs>)

Install-time source drops package-supplied AI-agent/MCP control files or instructions.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Install-time AI-agent control hijack evidence:
L26: const updated = content.replaceAll(npxPrefix, binName);
L27: if (updated !== content) fs.writeFileSync(full, updated, 'utf8');
L28: }
...
L32: function copyDir(src, dest) {
L33: fs.mkdirSync(dest, { recursive: true });
L34: for (const entry of fs.readdirSync(src, { withFileTypes: true })) {
...
L39: } else {
L40: fs.copyFileSync(srcPath, destPath);
L41: }
...
L46: 
L47: const userSkillsDir = path.join(os.homedir(), '.claude', 'skills');
L48: try {
Payload evidence from skills/lsproxy-cli/SKILL.md:
L64: server has not loaded the full workspace project. lsproxy flags this case as `partial:true`
L65: with a `warning` (and a stderr note) instead of a bare `ok:true`. Do not treat a
L66: partial/empty result as "no callers" for a deletion or a
```

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
